My guess is if anything is happening, that they’re scratching their heads on what to do. They’ve spent decades releasing the OT together - now it’s the 40th anniversary of SW, but they only have one restoration ready. I can imagine the argument whether to try and rush the other two restorations, or release the original theatrical versions “from the vault” for a limited time on each of their 40th anniversaries, culminating in a 4k Trilogy rerelease at the same time Jedi is released on blu.

Dre -
Just throwing an idea out here for you. I see you start amazing projects and then work on them extensively… until you move on to the next project. Just wanted to suggest that maybe you take the trailers from the official release, and for each of these projects get the trailers color matched, complete and released. That way you have something visual that’s released that has your mark and shows what a DrDre Masterpiece looks like. (I know you’ve released your correction tools which are amazing, but I’d love to see just a finished DrDre video project put out 😃 )

Hope I’m not overstepping boundaries here, I just know I get stuck in the same rut and wanted to throw it out there for you. Could also help you hone the right colors and settings for the films prior to digging in to the really time extensive pieces.

I really want to see the Legacy Edition so badly, well… Vimeo is the only place where you can see the Legacy Edition.

Just to clarify for anyone not well versed in Legacy, vimeo has multiple “making of” and comparison clips that hint at the final Legacy edition, but the actual film isn’t available, nor are the clips representative of their final state.

Color matching and prediction: color correction tool v1.3 released!
Time

Could you implement TGA file support in the tool Dre? Using virtualdub to output an image sequence, I’m getting about 4x faster export times for Targa RLE Compressed vs PNG fast compress, with equivalent projected file size. Definitely could use the speed increase (an hour and a half vs nearly 7 hours for Despecialized 2.7)

Or is there a better way to create image sequences someone could point me in the direction of?
